Chapter 205 Prelude to the Marriage
After having lunch with Yu Qingqing at the Bao family, Yan Huo said goodbye and went home. On the way, he went to the book shop. He chose a few travel notes, picked up a few more storybooks, held the book downstairs, checked out, and saw Tang Zhi standing next to the carriage, "Little Cauldron!"
"Xiaoxiao, it's really you." Tang Zhi was very surprised. After he finished his meal at the restaurant opposite, he saw the carriage of the Yan family. He hoped it was Yanhu, but he didn't expect it was Yanhu.
"I'll visit Qingqing and come to the bookstore to buy some books." Yan Huo pointed to the book in Maique's hand and said with a smile.
"Would you like to go to the teahouse to have a chat?" Tang Zhi asked expectantly.
"No, I promised my mother to go back early." Yan Hu refused. She and Tang Zhi were cousins with far-reaching blood. Tang Zhi loved her. Whether for his own good or for himself, she could not get too close to him. There is no such thing as a male close friend or a confidant in this era.
Tang Zhi's expression became dark, "I'll send you back."
"No need, the sky is getting gloomy again. I'm afraid it will snow again in a while. You'd better go back to the palace quickly and don't worry the Queen." Yan Huo refused again.
"Xiaoxiao, do you not want to pay attention to me in the future?" Tang Zhi asked sadly.
"We are cousins, why would I ignore you? If you want to drink tea, will we be fine another day? The weather is really bad today, and you don't want me to be frost-disease, right?" Yan Qiu coaxed him in a relaxed tone.
Of course, Tang Zhi was reluctant to let Yan Hu get sick, so he could only watch Yan Hu get on the carriage and leave, and then, under the urging of the eunuch, got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
After the Lantern Festival, the third room of the Yan family was busy for Yan Rui and Yan Tai to get married. The two girls got married closer, one was the ninth day of the second month and the other was the tenth day of the third month. Yan Huo took the jewelry he had prepared and went to the third room to add makeup to his two cousins.
When Yan Hu arrived at the place, he went to see Mrs. Yan San first. Although Mrs. Yan Hu was laughing, Yan Hu felt that she was forcing her to smile, "My aunt, was it a coincidence I came here?" When she first got off the carriage, she saw the carriage in the third room waiting there, which meant that someone in the third room was going out.
"No, no, I'm going to the old house, and I have to tell the old lady about some things." Mrs. Yan San said hurriedly.
"Those third aunt please let me go and I'll go find my sister ten." Yan Huo didn't ask much about what it was. The children didn't participate in the affairs of adults, but they would know when she got home.
"Yan Xiang is dead." Princess Nanping told her calmly.
Yan Huo almost forgot this person after a long time of not hearing the name, and was stunned for a moment, "When did it happen?"
"A few years ago, she sneaked out of the temple and wanted to go down the mountain from the back mountain, but accidentally fell off the cliff. When the people in the temple found her, her body had become stiff." Princess Nanping said simply.
"Will the marriage between Sister Ten and Sister Eleven be postponed?" Yan Huo asked frowned.
"No, Yan Xiang has been removed from the family. He is not a member of the Yan family. You sisters don't need to be filial to her." Princess Nanping smiled faintly.
"That's great." Yan Huo didn't want to keep a filial piety for Yan Xiang either.
Yan Xiang's death blew like a spring breeze, without any trace. Only her two sisters with the same father and mother were crying for her. At the same time on the same day, Yu Fangfei gave birth to her eldest son in a big mansion in Jiangnan.
On the fourth day of the second month, the eldest grandson of the fourth house, Yan Feng, had no big banquet for guests, and only invited some close relatives from home to come. Duke An Guo, the wife of Han, came to have a full moon drink and found an opportunity to tell Princess Nanping about the marriage of her two children. "In early summer of April, it is neither lukewarm nor hot, and it is the most suitable for weddings."
Princess Nanping took a sip of the cup, "In September of the autumn, it's neither cold nor hot."
"Nanping, look at Jingli, who is the same age as me. Who is not playing with grandchildren? You are a few years younger than me and have a grandson. As for me, my son has not yet married, and my grandson is still a cloud in the sky." Han clasped the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful to me. Choose an auspicious day and let someone come and get the Geng Tie." Princess Nanping smiled.
Han was overjoyed, "Thank you, my mother-in-law."
"You have changed your words too quickly." Princess Nanping said angrily.
"Anyway, I'll change my words sooner or later." Han said with a smile.
The next day, the person invited by Duke Anguo’s Mansion came to the door. Princess Nanping never expected that Duke Anguo’s Mansion was so anxious, and she didn’t expect that the person they invited was Princess De, "Aunt Wang, please sit down."
Princess De sat down, drank tea, and said with a smile: "Today I am having trouble, I am here to send Fu Wujiu, the prince of Anguo, as promised." As she said that, she handed over a big red letter with Fu Zhixing's birth date.
Fortunately, after the Yanhuo ceremony, Princess Nanping prepared the Geng Tie. After a few words of modestness, she gave Yanhuo's Geng Tie. Princess De sat down for a while, then left with the Geng Tie. The Siye of Yan had a stern face and said nothing.
After Princess De left, Master Yan Si said in a muffled voice: "Xiaoxiao is still young."
Princess Nanping didn't want to pay attention to him. This man completely wanted to raise his daughter to an old girl.
The Duke Anguo Mansion received Yan Hu's Geng Tie, and asked the official media to ask for divination, and placed it in front of the throne for sacrifice. This one was to be worshipped in the nine heavens. After the nine heavens, he received auspicious signs and made a ceremony in the door. Yan Hu felt that this was a formality. She and Fu Zhixing were granted marriage, and the imperial decree said it was a combination of heaven, so how could he not have auspicious signs?
Nine days later, King De and Princess De came to the door together, and King De bowed to congratulate him, "The eight characters have been combined, and the Imperial Heaven Supervision said it was a good fortune, congratulations!"
Princess De also smiled and said, "I have worshipped the nine heavens in front of the gods. It's auspicious omen! The lady of the noble family and the prince of the Duke of Anguo are a combination of heaven."
Wending is commonly known as Xiaoding. After the name of the name of the man, the man sent a matchmaker to tell the woman a little gift. The next step is Dading, which is the formal appointment.
It was soon the day of the appointment. Mrs. Yan and Prince Rong sat behind the screen with Yan Huo. Si Ye and Princess Nanping sat upright in the hall. Looking at the boxes of betrothal gifts brought in, Princess Nanping nodded with satisfaction. The Yan family was not greedy for the things from Duke An Guo Mansion. The Yan family would pay as much dowry as the money paid for the Duke An Guo Mansion.
Twelve boxes were neatly placed in the hall, and then the official media led four well-dressed middle-aged women in, "Master, Princess, these four are the four Mrs. Quanfu invited by Duke Anguo's Mansion."
The four wife Quanfu invited by Duke Anguo’s house were all married to the Fu family, with children and harmonious husband and wife.
The four women saluted Mr. Yan Si and Princess Nanping. Princess Nanping bowed back and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for four."
The official media handed the post with the word "Jinxi" to the Yan family's mother, and the Yan family's mother handed it to the Princess Nanping. When Princess Nanping opened it, she saw a 10,000 tael silver note specially printed at the money house.
This means that the Duke An Guofu thinks that Yan Huo is one of the best girls in a million. The corners of Yan Siye's lips are raised, "having a good eye." Suddenly, he feels that Fu Wujiu is quite good at it.
